A man has been arrested in connection with an alleged assault in Weymouth that left a man seriously injured.

It was reported that between 12am and 1.30am on Saturday 6 January 2024 a man aged in his 40s was struck in the face with a glass bottle as he was walking on the Rodwell Trail, close to the basketball courts in Parr Way.
